  • The RS’ support for the MB, a government of national unity with right-wing figures, and the fraudulent framework of the US-backed “democratic transition” once again exposes the counterrevolutionary role of the petty-bourgeois “left.”
  • The claim that Mursi as president and a government led by the MB would be less hostile to the Egyptian masses than Shafiq is a blatant lie and a trap for the working class. The MB is a right-wing bourgeois party which defends capitalist and imperialist rule in Egypt and throughout the region as ruthlessly as ousted dictator and longtime US-stooge Hosni Mubarak. Representing the economic interests of one section of big business and finance capital in Egypt, the MB is deeply hostile to the social and democratic aspirations of the Egyptian workers and youth.
